As a composite team, athletes may attend any school and live anywhere in the greater Tallahassee area.
Riders of all skill levels are welcome! Everyone practices, everyone races and there is no bench.
WHAT
A NICA team uses mountain biking as the foundation for a unique experiential learning opportunity.
Student athletes learn bike handling skills, navigation, route building and basic bike maintenance in a fun and supportive environment.
The team will practice two to three times a week from December to May and athletes may optionally participate in league races starting in March.
